Fake Benetton campaign?
Just so you know: Seems the Colors of Domestic Violence campaign may not be an official Benetton thing. Broadsheet reports that a senior fashion public relations manager for the company says that Benetton has never heard of the campaign. So where in the world did this thing come from?

LOL!
We've been trolled!
I have a feeling the Axe Body Spray Denim Skirt Mouse Pad people may be involved.
Can't imagine a connection to the Lite Brite guys for Cartoon Network who hoaxed Boston. But you do wish whomever would take responsibility. Thanks for posting this.
Clearly, someone with a questionable sense of humor.
Mostly unrelated, but the Boston thing wasn't a "hoax" and it drives me up the wall when people call it a "hoax." It was a viral marketing campaign. It was an inside joke that 99% of the population didn't get, but it definitely wasn't a hoax. Just sayin' :)
So noted, Law Fairy. :)
Dude. What the fuck.
We totally got punk'd, though.
Yeah, we got punk'd. It just pisses me off because the asshole who put this out is probably laughing at us right now. At least it wasn't a shameless ad, but still...
I was thinking maybe it was a spec ad. I read AdRants daily, and it wouldn't be the first time something by an ambitious ad agency,or a student, even, was mistaken for a real ad.
